Rudiger in UCL team of the week

The Giallorossi No.2 picked up his sixth appearance for Roma in Europe's premier club competition and put in a top-quality performance at the Stadio Olimpico. Here's how UEFA's official website described it: "Eventually Cristiano Ronaldo scored and Real Madrid won 2-0 at Roma but Rudiger was tenacious in keeping the visitors out for so long."

The German defender – who has played 25 games in his debut season at the club and has chipped in with one goal – finds himself in good company in the Champions League's best XI of the week. Alongside him at the back, there are two Real Madrid defenders Raphael Varane and Marcelo, plus Gary Cahill from Chelsea and PSG's Kevin Trapp in goal.

The midfield is made up of Julian Draxler after his double for Wolfsburg, Chelsea's Brazilian star Willian and Renato Sanches from Benfica. Wolfsburg's Max Kruse, Benfica's Jonas and Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo form the attacking line-up, each having scored a goal in the first leg of the Champions League last-16.
